Shiloh United Methodist Church Montpelier VA Sunday Sermon: September 6, 2026 11AM For the Whole Service |    • Lose Your Life to Save It...What Jesus is ...   Title: Lose to Save In Matthew 16:21–28, Jesus delivers one of the most challenging and life‑changing truths of discipleship: real life isn’t found in holding on — it’s found in letting go. He calls His followers to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him. Not to lose life in despair, but to discover a deeper, truer, eternal life that only comes through surrender. Jesus shows His disciples that the path to glory goes through sacrifice, and the way to truly live is to release our grip on self‑centered living. When we give ourselves fully to Christ, we don’t lose anything of real value — we gain everything. In this message, we explore: Why Jesus connects surrender with true life What it means to “take up your cross” today How self‑denial leads to spiritual freedom The promise Jesus gives to those who follow Him Why losing your life for Christ is actually how you save it If you’ve ever wondered what it really means to follow Jesus with your whole life, this passage shows the way — lose to save, surrender to live.
